Patent EP-0803574-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WILLS JOHN W
IPC: C07K14/00
Filed: 1990-05-17
Abstract: The present invention is directed to replicable expression vectors for producing fusion proteins which are secreted in membraneous particles budded from the cell membrane. In particular these vectors empress a hybrid gene product composed of a modified retrovirus  gag  gene fused to a heterologous gene, or any part thereof, wherein the  gag  gene modification is sufficient to enable a cell to produce the hybrid gene product in a membraneous particle by budding from the cell membrane into the culture medium or extracellular space, a process known as retrovirus-mediated secretion. The minimum  gag  sequences needed to obtain particle formation are described. 
     The invention also provides hosts containing the expression vectors, and the fusion proteins produced by the vectors. Further the invention provides the membraneous particles produced by retrovirus-mediated secretion and uses of these particles for protein purification and in therapeutics.

Abstract: Screw-holes are produced for fixture screws (4) by preferably self-cutting screws (4) with groove walls (2) defining the sides of the screw duct. Both walls of the groove, near the opening, have two protruding strips (5) in pairs and constricting the internal aperture. The strips are deformed when the screw is inserted so that each forms a contact part gripping round part of the outer surface of the screw. A second pair of strips (6) is positioned a little way from the base of the groove, and has an internal distance apart less than that of the first pair.

Abstract: A plasticating screw and method of plasticating without thermal degradation problems. Said screw having a metering section with a helical flight disposed within and cooperating with the innerwall of a heated barrel. In particular, solid resinous material is introduced to a helical valley extending between said flight. The resinous material is heated and plasticized by said apparatus while being advanced along a helical path towards an outlet opening by the rotation of said screw. The bottom surface of the helical valley in said metering section having a plurality of geometrically shaped surfaces in side-by-side relation with at least two of said shaped surfaces being sloped. During operation, the level differential between the shaped surfaces induces a continuous tumbling, variable shear and mixing action upon the molten resin as the molten resin in the metering section flows along the helical path.

Abstract: The core(4) rotates in a housing(2), and is locked by tumblers(5) to a bush(6) between it and the latter on taking the key out of the keyhole(3). On turning the core with a wrong key or a tool an overload coupling(7) uncouples an output member(8) from the core, and has a driving dog(16) sliding in the radial direction and engaging in the output member.

without sacrificing the quality of data reconstruction each input vector or block of
original data is expressed as a combination of a codebook index and an error
differential, or as a compressed version of the original block of data, depending on
whether the total number of bits needed to express the input vector as a combination
of a codebook index and an error differential is less than the total bits needed to send
the compressed version of the original block of data. In one embodiment, the
flexibility to express video data in a compressed format or as a combination of a
codebook index plus an error differential is provided through a video system
employing a codebook (11), a scalar quantizer (17,19), and an entropy coder (16,18).

Abstract: An edge-polishing apparatus and method are provided
which are capable of not only preventing the surfaces of
workpieces such as silicon wafers from being smeared,
stained, soiled, damaged or marred by forming hydrophilic
oxide films thereon, and but also of storing the workpieces
in a dry state. A workpiece W stored in a cassette 10 in a
dry state is taken out by means of a first robot 12 of a
first transportation section 1, and transported to an oxide-film
forming section 2 where it is immersed in ozone water 21
in an oxidation water tank 20 so as to form a hydrophilic
oxide film on the surfaces of the workpiece W. The workpiece
W thus formed with the hydrophilic oxide film is cleaned with
a shower 29 of pure water by means of a cleaning device 28,
and then transported to an edge-polishing section 4 by means
of a second robot 32 of a second transportation section 3.
At the edge-polishing section 4, the edges of the workpiece
W are mirror finished by a polishing drum 41. Thereafter,
the workpiece W is cleaned with a shower 53 of pure water
while being brushed by means of a pair of brushes 51, 51.
The workpiece W thus cleaned is transported to a drying
section 7 by means of a third robot 60 of a third
transportation section 6, and dried there. Subsequently, the
dried workpiece W is kept or stored in a cassette 79 in a dry
state.

Abstract: A collaboration system that integrates separate real-time and asynchronous networks - the former for real-time audio and video, and
the latter for control signals and textual, graphical and other date - in a manner which closely approximates the experience of face-to-face
collaboration. These capabilities are achieved by exploiting a variety of hardware, software and networking technologies in a manner
that preserves the quality and integrity of audio/video/data and other multimedia information, even after wide area transmission, and at a
significantly reduced networking cost as compared to what would be required by presently known approaches. The system architecture
is readily scalable to the largest enterprise network environments. It accommodates differing levels of collaborative capabilities available
to individual users and permits high-quality audio and video capabilities to be readily superimposed onto existing personal computers and
workstations (12) and their interconnecting LAN's (10) and WANs (15). In the case of a plurality of geographically dispersed LANs (10)
interconnected by a WAN (15), the demands made on the WAN are significantly reduced by employing multi-hopping techniques, including
avoiding the unnecessary decompression of data at intermediate hops, as well as video mosaicing and cut-and-past technology.
